Seismic Project Information GM8805
LSU MCS/OBS survey

This 1988 M/V GECO My survey was part of a seismic study (see SS8802) in the northern Gulf of Mexico by the Louisiana State University, Dept. of Geology. UTIG recorded data onboard the R/V Pelican (PEL8827) while GECO My performed a regular reflection survey without regard to the other's presence. The purpose of the GECO My survey was to obtain deep seismic data describing the structure of the Gulf of Mexico.Data in-take in progress.

USGS used DISCO to process the data, creating three versions of the line: time migration, true amplitude, and vstack. Geometry: [(cmp/4)+946] = Shotpoint. This conversion will locate the shotpoint at the center of the source arrays, not the ship antenna. The distance from the center of the source array to the ship antenna was 138 m (11.04 cmps) for line B.
